TO    TEACHERS. 


"  Singing-  as  it  happens,"  as  the  celebrated  Dr.  A.  B.  Marx  terms  it,  is 
that  which  is  most  common  among  the  people.  It  is  fostered  and  vigorously 
perpetuated  in  our  Sunday  Schools,  and  in  common  schools  where  no  regular 
instruction  in  music  is  given,  and  where  the  object  is  to  have  the  children  sing 
a  few  simple  melodies,  without  reference  to  musical  culture  as  such.  The 
songs,  never  above  a  certain  degree  of  difficulty,  are  learned  by  hearing  them 
repeatedly  sung  or  played,  or  by  singing  them  many  times  in  company  with 
those  who  already  know  them. 

This  kind  of  singing  is  not  altogether  useless,  as  in  many  cases  there  is  a 
freshness  and  energy  about  it  which  serves  to  awaken  a  love  for  singing,  and  to 
furnish  a  basis  on  which  to  build  a  subsequent  course  of  musical  instruction. 

But  there  is  a  wide  distinction  between  this  hap-hazard  singing  and  genuine 
"  Rote-Singing."  The  latter  is  the  most  important  part  of  instruction,  without 
which  in  fact  there  can  be  no  real  tuition  in  vocal  music.  Genuine  rote-singing 
implants  at  the  beginning  true  musical  impressions.  It  leads  to  a  discrimination 
between  a  musical  and  unmusical  style.  A  child  will  learn  more  easily,  and 
enjoy  better,  singing  in  a  good  than  in  a  bad  style,  if  he  has  right  examples  at 
the  start.  And  it  is  obvious  that  where  he  receives  the  true  idea  at  the  very 
beginning  he  is  more  likely  to  persevere  from  the  love  of  it. 

In  this  point  of  view  every  vocal  artist  is  a  teacher  in  the  best  sense  of  the 
term.  When  such  singers  as  Jenny  Lind,  Sontag,  Parepa-Rosa,  and  Nilsson 
come  among  us,  the  public  authorities  should  secure  their  services  to  sing  appro- 
priate music  before  the  common  people,  and  especially  the  children.  By  this 
means  the  people  would  get  a  true  idea  of  singing. 

We  propose  in  the  course  of  instruction  indicated  in  the  series  of  National 
Music  Readers  and  Charts  to  do  away  with  all  hap-hazard  singing.  We 
therefore,  start  with  a  regular  course  of  instruction  in  rote  singing,  as  indi- 
cated in  the  National  Music  Teacher*;  and  we  endeavor  to  preserve  all

IV  TO    TEACHERS. 

the  freshness  and  energy  of  the  "  singing  as  it  happens  "  without  any  of  its 
vicious  qualities. 

In  the  first  course,  in  connection  with  rote  singing,  the  pupils  have  learned  all 
the  alphabet  of  music  in  a  practical  way.  In  this  second  book  we  keep  up  the 
practice  of  rote-singing  so  far  as  learning  the  songs ;  but  the  pupils  are  expected 
to  be  greatly  aided  by  their  knowledge  of  the  notes,  so  as  to  learn  the  two-part 
songs  by  note  after  having  heard  them  sung  or  played  correctly  once  or  twice. 
A  plain  choral  in  two  voices  they  are  expected  to  sing  at  sight,  so  that  the 
third  time  they  will  be  able  to  apply  the  words. 

In  carrying  on  this  work,  as  remarked  by  James  Currie  in  his  excellent  work 
on  Common  School  Education, "  the  means  of  instruction  are  three-fold :  instruc- 
tion, example,  and  practice.  Without  instruction  there  cannot  be  intelligence ; 
without  example,  which  shall  hold  up  models  for  imitation,  there  cannot  be 
expression  or  tasteful  singing ;  and  without  sufficient  practice  there  cannot  be 
correctness  or  fluency."  Perhaps  the  second  of  these  means  is  the  one  most  neg- 
lected. Much  bad  singing  arises  from  the  absence  of  example  to  show  how  it 
is  to  be  done ;  without  which  instruction  cannot  be  fully  understood,  and  prac- 
tice may  only  be  the  practice  of  a  bad  style.  The  teacher  must  sing  to  the 
school,  to  show  them  how  to  sing. 

Many  teachers  may  not  feel  confidence  in  their  own  musical  powers  sufficient 
to  enable  them  to  carry  out  the  work  as  they  feel  that  it  ought  to  be  done.  But 
if  we  wait  till  all  are  competent  to  give  the  best  instruction,  it  will  be  a  long  day 
before  good  music  will  become  as  common  as  all  desire  it  to  be.  Every  teacher 
can  do  some  of  the  most  essential  things  toward  her  pupils'  improvement  in 
singing.  Among  the  points  that  may  be  observed  by  all  teachers,  whether  gifted 
as  singers  or  not,  are  the  following — mostly  recommended  by  the  author  last 
quoted : — 

1.  Require  a  good  position  of  the  pupils  while  singing. 

2.  Do  not  allow  them  to  sing  too  loud  or  shout  instead  of  singing. 

3.  Do  not  let  them  heavily  drag  the  rhythm. 

4.  Do  not  permit  coarseness  of  utterance  or  indistinct  articulation. 

5.  From  the  very  first,  aim  at  imparting  a  generally  soft  style  of  singing  as 
the  basis  of  all  expression. 

6.  Encourage  liveliness  and  cordiality  of  manner,  to  preserve  the  buoyancy  of 
the  music.

EXERCISES  IN  FIGURES,  TO  BE  WEITTEN  IN  NOTES. 

Explanation. — A  comma  after  a  figure,  signifies  a  quarter-note, 
thus:     1,  =j. 

A  dash  after  a  figure,  signifies  a  half-note,  thus :     1 —  =  J. 

A  comma  after  a  cipher,  stands  for  a  quarter-rest,  thus  :     0,  =  £. 

A  dash  after  a  cipher,  stands  for  a  half-rest,  thus :     0 —  =  j... 

The  key  in  which  the  exercise  is  to  be  written,  is  denoted  by  a  capital 
letter ;  and  the  time  by  the  usual  signature.

The  pupils  should  sing  the  above  exercises  from  the  figures,  beating 
the  time,  before  writing  them  in  notes. 

It  is  recommended  that  only  one  exercise  be  taken  up  at  one  lesson, 
in  the  following  order,  namely  : 

1.  Teacher  writes  the  exercise  in  figures  upon  the  blackboard. 

2.  Pupils  sing  it  by  the  numeral  names. 

3.  "        "    "  "    "  pitch  names. 

4.  "        "    "  "    "  syllables. 

5.  Write  the  exercise  in  notes  upon  the  staff. 

6.  Pupils  pass  the  slates  to  each  other  who  examine  and  mark  errors. 
This  should  all  be  done  in  six  or  seven  minutes,  and  is  as  good  an  in- 
tellectual exercise  as  arithmetic  or  grammar.

Hi

A      will  -  ful  young  boy,     all      in  -  tent      on      his    play. 

2  And  'mid  the  green  rushes  he  saw  growing  there 
A  beautiful  lily,  so  white  and  so  fair. 

3  "  O,  that  I  must  have,"  cried  he,  eager  with  joy, 
And  into  the  lake  went  the  heedless  young  boy. 

4  "  Stay,  Stay,"  cried  his  mother,  all  trembling  with  fear, 
"  O  stay,  for  too  deep  is  the  water  so  clear." 

5  He  heeds  not  her  bidding,  he  stays  not  to  hear; 

"  No,  no,"  answered  he,  "  there  is  nothing  to  fear." 

6  He  grasped  at  the  flower  —  but  nothing  could  save ; 
He  sank,  and  was  lost  in  a  watery  grave.

2  If  e'er  a  man  was  sound,  'tis  he :  He  pines  and  sickens  never ; 
From  sore  diseases  he  is  free  ;  He  knows  not  pain  nor  fever, 
He  knows  not,  knows  not  pain  nor  fever. 

8  He  dons  his  garments  out  of  doors,  And  lets  no  fire  come  near  them ;

He  hath  no  cause,  no  cause  to  fear  them. 

4  He  cares  not  for  the  song  of  birds,  Nor  heeds  the  springing  flower ; 
The  cheering  cup,  warm  hearts  and  words,  To  charm  him  have  no  power, 
To  charm  him,  charm  him  have  no  power.

5  But  when  the  wolves  are  howling  loud  O'er  frozen  lake  and  river, 
When  round  the  blazing  hearth  we  crowd,  And  rub  our  hands  and  shivcx, 

And  rub,  and  rub  our  hands  and  shiver, — 

6  When  chilling  storms  are  raging  round,  And  frosty  winds  are  blowing, 
That  cheers  his  heart,  he  loves  the  sound,  He  laughs  with  joy  overflowing, 

He  laughs  with  joy,  with  joy  o'erflowing. 

7  For  at  the  north  pole  he  resides,  Where  northern  seas  are  swelling ; 
On  Switzerland's  high  hills,  besides,  He  has  a  summer  dwelling, 

He  has  a  summer,  summer  dwelling. 

8  So  to  and  fro,  with  all  his  band,  He's  marching,  marching  ever, 
And  when  he  passes  by,  we  stand  To  gaze  on  him  and  shiver, 

To  gaze,  to  gaze  on  him  and  shiver.

Thou  who  canst  all  things  do !  Are  subject  to  Thine  eye. 

0,  how  much  good  dost  Thou  to  me 
From  day  to  day  renew !  4  Should  I  in  wisdom's  ways  be  found.

Who  dost  my  wants  supply ;  And  peace  be  in  my  breast.

So  cheerful  and  so  clear, 
The  call  to  prayer  and  singing, 
And  God's  good  word  to  hear. 

3  Who  would  not  heed  the  message, 
God  sends  us  from  above  ? 
Who  would  not  seek  his  blessing, 
His  mercy  and  his  love  ? 


4  And  as  the  eastern  sages, 

Were  guided  by  a  star, 
So  faith  will  lead  us  heav'nward, 
Where  God  and  angels  are. 

5  Once  with  our  heav'nly  Father, 

No  griefs  to  us  can  come, 
We'll  dwell  in  peaceful  pleasures, 
In  that  eternal  home.

And  turn  not  thou  a  finger's  breadth  From  God's  most  ho-ly  ways. 


2  Then,  as  on  pastures  fair  and  green 

Thro*  life  thy  feet  shall  roam, 
Nor  fear  nor  terror  shalt  thou  feel 
When  death  shall  call  thee  home.    5 

3  The  wicked  man  in  all  he  does, 

Is  ever  sore  distressed  ; 
His  vices  drive  him  to  and  fro ; 
His  soul  can  find  no  rest.  ( 

4  The  beauteous  Spring,  the  waving  trees 

For  him  smile  all  in  vain ; 


His  soul  is  bent  on  lies  and  fraud, 
And  on  ill-gotten  gain. 

To  him  the  leaf,  by  breezes  stirred, 

Has  terror  in  its  sound ; 
And  when  he's  buried  in  the  grave, 

His  soul  no  rest  has  found. 

Then  practise  truth  and  honesty 
Through  all  thine  earthly  days, 

And  turn  not  thou  a  finger's  breadth 
From  God's  most  holy  ways.

2  Then  we  leave  our  home, 

To  the  fields  we  roam, 
And  we  sit  amongst  the  haying ; 

Hear  the  pleasant  sound, 

Of  the  birds  around, 
Or  some  far  off  flute  that's  playing ; 
Hear  the  loud  and  croaking  chorus, 
From  the  sedgy  marsh  before  us  : 

All  the  meadows  ring ; 

While  the  songs  they  sing 
Back  to  summer  thoughts  restore  us. 


3  But  'tis  night !  away ! 
For  we  must  not  stay 

Chatting  here  so  late  together. 
Yet  'twere  sweet  to  stay, 
'Mid  the  new  mown  hay, 

All  the  night  in  summer  weather ! 

Time  is  o'er  for  chat  and  dancing 

Now  the  gentle  moon,  advancing, 
Calls  the  stars  out  all, 
Sets  them,  great  and  small, 

In  the  clear  blue  heavens  glancing.

Let  the  well-tilPd   field Rich   a  -  bun- dance  yield. 


2  Rich  or  poor,  what  matter  ? 

Each  is  here  for  good: 
Good  seeds  let  him  scatter 

In  contented  mood. 
For  ye  share  together 
Sunshine  and  wet  weather, 
Heaven  these  blessings  gives 
To  each  one  that  lives. 


3  Let  the  sage,  so  knowing, 
On  his  wisdom  build  ; 
We  still  planting,  ploughing, 

Wait  what  God  hath  willed. 
'Tis  while  Heaven  befriendeth, 
Rain  and  sunshine  sendeth, 
That  the  verdure  thrives  : 
God  the  blessing  gives.

In  the  peaceful  grave's  repose,

Take  our  souls  to  dwell  with  thee.

2  Thou  hast  thrown  a  smile  of  beauty, 

O'er  the  meadow,  hill  and  grove ; 
Thou  hast  quickened  us  to  duty, 

Thou  hast  warmed  our  hearts  to  love. 

3  Ours  is  now  each  smiling  flower, 

Ours  the  lofty  mountain  pine, 

Ours  the  fruit-tree's  golden  shower, 

And  the  close  entwining  vine. 

4  Still  stay  with  us,  still  replenish 

Fields  with  fruit,  ourselves  with  love; 
Discord  and  dissension  banish, 
Peaceful  spirit  from  above.

While  days  of  childhood  shall  yet  remain.

Sing  forth  our  pleasures  in  full  good  cheer ;

Go  ye  forth  and  join  the  May-day  throng.

fragrant  and  fair,  And  sweet  warbling  songsters  are  fill-ing  the    air. 

2  We'll  off  to  the  woods,  and  leave  sorrow  at  home ; 
We'll  climb  the  green  hills !  'tis  pleasure  to  roam. 
Oh !  who  in  the  city  would  stay  the  year  round, 
When  pleasures  like  these  are  so  easily  found? 

8  But  ah !  the  sweet  flowers  but  bloom  for  a  day  I 
See  !  many  have  fallen  and  sprinkle  our  way  : 
They  fall  in  light  showers,  if  branches  but  wave, 
And  strew  the  lone  violet's  balmiest  grave. 

4  So  all  things  must  feel  the  cold  finger  of  death  ! 

The  strongest  must  fall,  and  must  yield  up  their  breath ; 
The  fate  of  the  monarch  is  seen  in  the  rose, 
And  ours  in  the  slenderest  blossom  that  grows. 

5  But  death  has  no  terrors  to  those  who  do  right : 
To  them  he  appears  like  an  angel  of  light, 
And  smilingly  beckons  their  spirits  away 

To  realms  of  unending,  unspeakable  day.

And  many  a  dear  delight : 
We  frolic  in  the  snow-drifts,

Around  the  fire  we  cluster, 

Nor  heed  the  whistling  storm ; 
When  all  without  is  dreary, 

Our  hearts  are  bright  and  warm. 


But  oh,  when  comes  the  season 

For  merry  birds  to  sing, 
How  sweet  to  roam  the  meadows, 

And  drink  the  breeze  of  Spring ; 
Then  come,  sweet  May !  and  bring  us 

The  flow'ret  fresh  and  fair ; 
We  long  once  more  to  wander 

And  breathe  the  balmy  air.

2  Among  my  merry  comrades 
A  joyous  life  I  lead ; 
And  in  our  verdant  valleys 
No  pain  nor  sorrow  heed. 
From  hill  and  vale  our  songs  wc  raise, 
Our  grateful  songs  of  joy  and  praise  ; 
From  pine-clad  hill  and  mountain, 
A  gay  Swiss  boy  I  come 

Tra,  la,  la,  etc.

Friends,  you  long  our  hearts  have  known ; 
You're  not  left  to  fight  alone ; 
We  will  make  the  cause  our  own, 

For  Heaven  is  on  our  side.

Live  alone  for  worldly  gain, 
Spending  days  and  nights  in  pain 

For  some  ignoble  end  ? 
We  would  hope  to  leave  behind, 
Better  times  than  now  we  find  ; 
Better  be  it  for  mankind, 

That  we  have  lived  their  friend.

Gayly  tell  the  lively  glee 
Nature's  now  so  kindly  shedding 

Over  all  the  eye  can  see.

On  the  verdant,  grassy  hills ;

Chirping  round  the  rippling  rills.

Join  to  make  the  charming  scene 
Yet  still  more  like  happy  Eden,

2  Buds  that  open'd  in  the  Spring, 

Summer  suns  have  faded. 
Flowers  that  dropped  from  Summer's  wing, 

Autumns  fruit  o'ershaded. 
Summer  stems  and  Autumn  fruit 

Winter  snows  drift  over ; 
Not  a  bud  or  Jeaf  peeps  out 

From  the  frosty  cover. 

3  Since  then  nature  naught  contains 

For  a  wreath  to  give  thee, 
Take  what  yet  unchanged  remains,— 

What  can  never  leave  thee  : 
Love  that  heeds  not  winter's  snow, 

More  than  Autumn's  shading, 
Love  which  will  forever  glow, 

Spite  of  frost  and  fading.

Land  of  the  noble  free,

TO    TEACHERS. 


To  puksue  successfully  the  course  of  instruction  indicated  in  this, 
the  "Thikd  National  Music  Reader,"  the  pupils  must  have  gone 
through  a  course  of  training  equivalent  to  that  contained  in  the  First 
and  Second  Music  Readers. 

In  the  two-part  songs,  thus  far,  the  harmonies  have  been  extremely 
limited;  so  that  the  pupils  have  become  accustomed  to  the  "natural 
harmonies' '  of  the  Major  Scale  in  nine  different  keys.  They  are  now 
to  consider  the  harmonic  relation  of  sounds,  and  are  gradually  to  become 
conscious  of  the  groundwork  of  two-  and  three-part  singing,  as  based 
upon  the  Triads  of  the  Major  and  Minor  Scales.  Besides  the  Triads, 
they  are  taught  the  most  usual  forms  of  Chords  of  the  Seventh  and 
Ninth* 

Let  it  not  be  forgotten,  that  the  proper  training  of  the  ear  and  voice, 
and  cultivation  of  musical  taste,  are  the  chief  objects  of  musical  instruc- 
tion in  common  schools.  The  best  means  to  this  end  is  a  good  selection 
of  appropriate  school-songs,  carefully  taught.  It  is  recommended  that 
scholars  of  this  grade,  as  well  as  those  of  the  lower  classes,  commit  to 
memory  several  songs,  both  the  poetry  and  the  music, — and  those  some 
of  the  most  difficult, — so  that  they  may  be  able  to  give  more  attention 
to  a  tasteful  performance.  "It  is  not  by  singing  merely  that  the  taste 
is  improved,  but  by  expressive  singing." 

*  A  Manual  for  teachers,  containing  a  full  explanation  of  the  Triads  and 
other  Chords  indicated  in  this  Number,  is  in  course  of  preparation;  also,  a 
method  of  instruction  for  higher  classes,  on  the  plan  of  Dr.  A.  B.  Marx's 
*'  Chorus  School " 


IV  TO    TEACHERS. 

This  book,  thou&h  complete  in  itself,  is  designed  to  bo  used  in 
connection  with  the  Third  Series  of  National  Music  Charts.  The 
necessary  instruction  in  Intervals  and  Triads  is  given  to  best  advantage 
from  the  Charts. 

Let  not  any  one  be  discouraged  by  the  appearance  of  the  Roman 
numerals  and  other  signs  to  indicate  the  harmonies;  neither  let  the 
musical  scholar  undervalue  the  little  that  is  attempted  in  this  direction.

So  grateful  when  with  toil  opprest ; 
That  fills  the  soul  with  pious  love, 
And  makes  it  soar  to  heav'n  above. 

3  An  image  of  the  sun  thou  art, 
Whose  beams  such  joy  to  earth  impart : 
So  doth  thy  genial  presence  give 

A  hallow'd  light  to  all  that  live. 

4  God's  messenger,  thou  bringest  peace, 
And  biddest  earth  from  tumult  cease ; 
An  angel  sent  from  Heav'n  to  cheer, 
And  bid  us  for  the  week  prepare. 

5  Oh,  lift  my  soul  to  heaven  above, 
Where  spirits  dwell  in  bliss  and  love ; 
One  day,  thro'  morning's  purple  skies, 
I,  too,  on  angels'  wings  shall  rise.

The  hoar-frost  all  hath  ban  -  isli'd  Far  o'er    the  mountain  hight. 


2  O'er  desert  fields  and  meadows 

In  sadness  now  we  stray ; 
Now  sooner  come  night's  shadows 

And  shorter  grows  the  day. 
The  birds  are  elsewhere  seeking 

For  the  sunny  smile  of  Spring ; 
O  !  what  a  merry-making 

Its  charms  to  them  will  bring ! 


3  What  though  from  bough  descending 

Now  falls  the  last  red  leaf, 
And  birds  their  songs  are  ending, 

As  though  opprest  with  grief  ? 
0 !  banish  all  your  mourning, 

Nor  so  tremblingly  despair ; 
We  soon  shall  see  returning 

The  lovely  Spring  so  fair.

'Tis  but  for  a  moment's  space.

Mortal  man's  commands  obey. 
Thy  unfathomable  fountains 

Scoff  his  search  and  scan  his  sway. 

4  Such  art  thou,  stupendous  ocean  ! 

But  if  overwhelmed  by  thee, 

Can  we  think  without  emotion, 

What  must  thy  Creator  be  ?

2  How  tranquil  are  thy  slumbers ! 
No  shepherd's  tuneful  numbers 

By  vale  or  stream  resound ; 
Sweet  summer  songs  are  over, 
The  swallow,  joyous  rover, 
In  all  our  fields  no  more  is  found. 

3  A  Father's  hand  hath  dressed  thee 
In  wintry  robes,  so  rest  thee 

Beneath  his  watchful  sight ; 
Thy  wintry  slumbers  breaking, 
"VVe  soon  shall  see  thee  waking, 
In  radiant  robes  of  lovely  light.

2  'T  is  not  long  since  pinks  and  roses 

Bloom'd  on  many  a  fertile  spot ; 
Since  the  violet  pour'd  forth  its  odors, 
And  the  sweet  forget-me-not,  the  sweet  forget-me-not. 
Soon  the  purple  violet,  wither'd, 

Fell  the  angry  tempest's  prey ; 
Soon  the  pink's  fair  beauty  faded, 

|| :  And  the  rose-bud  drooped  away.  :[) 

3  Then  enjoy  creation's  pleasures 

While  thy  cheeks  with  vigor  glow ! 
Sing  rejoicing,  while  from  thy  bosom 
Silver  tones  of  gladness  flow,  yet  tones  of  gladness  flow. 
Sport,  and  take  thy  fill  of  pleasure, 

Ere  the  sense  of  joy  abate, — 
While  the  thrill  of  life's  fresh  morning 

||:  Heart  and  eye  doth  animate.  :|J 

4  He  who  to  enjoy  the  rapture 

Of  life's  spring-time  rightly  knows, 
He  drinks  freely  of  pleasure's  fountain, 
That  in  youth's  bright  morning  flows,  in  youth's  bright  morning  floMfS. 
He  the  crown  gratefully  weareth 

That  the  spring  produced  so  bright ; 
Grieves  not  when  rude  autumn  cometh ; 

[I:  Dreams  away  cold  winter's  night.  :||

2  Death's  call  has  never  bidden 

Him  leave  his  house  of  clay ; 
But  in  the  castle  hidden, 
He  sleeps  the  time  away. 

3  The  riches  of  his  kingdom 

He  took  with  him  below  ; 
But  he  will  one  day  bring  them, 
When  he  comes  back,  we  know. 


5  His  beard  is  long  and  flowing, 

All  of  a  fiery  red ; 
'Tis  through  the  table  growing, 
On  which  he  rests  his  head. 

6  He  nods  as  he  were  dreaming, 

And  winks  with  half-closed  eye ; 
With  glance  all  brightly  beaming, 
He  bids  his  page  draw  nigh. 


4  He  sits  (so  says  the  fable) 
On  chair  of  ivory  made ; 
Of  marble  is  the  table 
Whereon  his  head  is  laid. 


7  He  speaks  in  sleep,  thus  crying : 
"  Go  to  the  castle  door, 
And  see  if  still  are  flying 
The  ravens  as  before. 


8  "  And  if  they  still  are  flying — 
The  old  birds  round  the  hill- 
Must  I  in  slumber  lying 
A  hundred  years  be  still."

And  when  earthly  toils  are  o'er,

That  late  so  sweetly  bloomed ; 
It  goes  we  know  not  whither, 

||:  To  swift  destruction  doomed.  :fl 

3  Like  fleeting  thoughts  that  waver, 

Life's  dream  from  us  doth  haste; 
Tho*  gained  by  hard  endeavor, 
|| :  Its  pleasures  scarce  we  taste.  :||

The  grave  doth  yawn  beneath ; 
The  balmy  west  wind  blowing,

The  wheel  of  time  rolls  by ; 
While  yet  for  fortune  trying,

2  No  costly  arts  our  church  array, 

That  bride  so  meek  and  lovely"; 
But  there  each  welcome  Sabbath  day, 

The  very  air  is  holy ; 
And  there  the  Pastor  leads  his  flock 
To  water  from  the  living  rock. 

3  Then  when  the  organ  lifts  its  voice 

In  sounds  so  sweetly  given, 
And  when  its  tones  press  through  the  heart, 

And  open  it  to  heaven, — 
Then  may  the  heart,  thus  open  laid, 
Hear  more  than  organ  ever  said.

Friendship's  lovely  hand  has  given ; 

Pure  affection's  sweet  caresses 
Soothe  the  heart  which  grief  oppresses, 
Shed  a  peace  like  that  in  heaven, 
Full  of  joy,  Full  of  joy. 

3  Oh,  how  soon,  Oh,  how  soon 
Has  this  day  returned  to  night ! 

So  are  all  our  days  fast  fleeing ; 
So  must  wane  our  earthly  being, 
Chill'd  at  last  by  age's  blight, 
Soon,  oh,soon,  Soon,  oh,  soon. 


4  Sweet  the  rest,  Sweet  the  rest 
Destined  to  the  man  whose  care, 

Every  sufferer's  sorrow  heeding, 
Every  needy  orphan  feeding, 
Loves  in  all  that 's  good  to  share. 
Sweet  his  rest,  Sweet  his  rest. 

5  Good-night!  Good-night! 
Love  and  peace  to  all  around  ; 

Evil  fate  shall  not  assail  us, 
Quiet  sleeping  shall  regale  us, 
Till  the  morning  bell  shall  sound. 
Good-night !  Good-night !

3  All  this  weak  foreboding 

Yields  no  happiness, — 
Thrusts  away  the  kind  hand 

That  your  souls  would  bless ; 
All  on  earth  is  fleeting  ; 

Better  days  will  come ; 
Why,  then,  thus  desponding, 

O'er  life's  pathway  roam  ? 

4  Why  should  all  around  us 

Dark  and  dreary  seem  ? 
God  will  not  forsake  us— 

Let  us  trust  in  him ! 
Then  earth's  heaviest  sorrow 

Light  will  straightway  grow ; 
He  who  trusts  in  Heaven 

Doth  his  wisdom  show. 


5  From  this  mournful  slumber 

Let  us  all  awake ! 
Think  what  God  has  promUeJ, 

And  fresh  courage  tako  I 
Be  no  longer  anxious, 

Fretful  and  forlorn ; 
Night  will  soon  be  over ; 

Joy  comes  with  the  morn !

2  My  native  country !  thee — 
Land  of  the  noble  free — 

Thy  name  I  love  : 
I  love  thy  rocks  and  rills, 
Thy  woods  and  templed  hills ; 
My  heart  with  rapture  thrills, 

Like  that  above. 

3  Let  music  swell  the  breeze, 
And  ring  from  all  the  trees 

Sweet  freedom's  song ; 
Let  mortal  tongues  awake, 
Let  all  that  breathe  partake, 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break, 

The  sound  prolong. 


4  Our  fathers'  God !  to  thee, 
Author  of  liberty ! 

To  thee  we  sing : 
Long  may  our  land  be  bright 
With  freedom's  holy  light ; 
Protect  us  by  thy  might, 

Great  God,  our  King  I

2  Clearer  than  crystal  is  the  stream, 

And  bright  with  endless  day ; 
The  waves  with  every  blessing  teem, 
And  life  and  health  convey. 

3  Where'er  they  flow,  contentions  cease, 

And  love  and  meekness  reign ; 
The  Lord  himself  commands  the  peace, 
And  foes  conspire  in  vain. 

4  Along  the  shores,  angelic  bands 

Watch  every  moving  wave ; 
With  holy  joy  their  breast  expands, 
When  men  the  waters  crave. 

5  To  them  distress-ed  souls  repair ; 

The  Lord  invites  them  nigh ; 
They  leave  their  cares  and  sorrows  there ; 
They  drink,  and  never  die. 

6  Flow  on,  sweet  Stream !  more  largely  flow— 

The  earth  with  glory  fill ! 
Flow  on,  till  all  the  Saviour  know, 
And  all  obey  his  will.

2  Sun,  for  a  season  driven 

From  thy  bright  throne  in  heaven, 

Where  hidest  thou  thy  light  ? 
Farewell !  in  clearer  glory 
Another  sun  shines  o'er  me ; 

My  Jesus'  presence  cheers  the  night. 

3  In  many  a  golden  cluster 
The  starry  myriads  muster 

On  yonder  shining  floor; 
So  may  I  shine  immortal, 
When  call'd  through  death's  dim  portal 

To  pass,  and  stand  my  Lord  before. 

4  To  rest  my  body  hasteth, 
Aside  her  garments  casteth, 

Till  morn  again  appear. 
Ere  long  earth's  bondage  breaking, 
Her  mortal  coil  forsaking, 

Christ's  spotless  robe  my  soul  shall  wear. 

5  Sleep  o'er  mine  eyes  is  stealing, 
My  drowsy  senses  sealing ; 

Shepherd  of  Israel ! 
Thy  tender  mercy  send  me, 
And  from  all  harm  defend  me, 

Who  watchest  where  thy  people  dwell. 

6  My  Lord  and  Saviour,  guide  me ; 
From  sin  and  danger  hide  me 

Beneath  thy  wings  of  love. 
If  Satan  dare  molest  me, 
Bid  angel-guards  assist  me 

With  strength  and  comfort  from  above. 

7  Safe  in  thy  holy  keeping, 
May  all  my  loved  ones  sleeping 

Find  thee  their  strength  and  stay. 
Let  thy  bright  host  protect  them,  • 

Thine  eye  unseen  direct  them 

Till  dawns  the  everlasting  day.

2  From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise ; 
Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung 
Through  ev'ry  land,  by  ev'ry  tongue. 

3  Eternal  are  thy  mercies,  Lord  ! 
Eternal  truth  attends  thy  word  ; 

Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore, 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more.

Designed  to  give  children  clear  and  lasting  impressions  of  the  different  countries  and  in-

OUR  WORLD,  No.  II. ;   or,  Second  Series  of  Lessons  in  Geography.    By 
Mary  L.  Hall.    With  fine  illustrations  of  the  various  countries,  the  inhabitants  and 
their  occupations,  and  two  distinct  series  of  Maps,  physical  and  political. 
This  book  is  intended,  if  used  m  eonnection  with  the  First  Lessons,  to  cover  the  usual 
course  of  geographical  study.    It  is  based  upon  the  principle  that  it  is  more  useful  to  give 
vivid  conceptions  of  the  physical  features  and  political  associations  of  different  regions,  than 
to  make  pupils  familiar  with  long  lists  of  places,  and  a  great  array  of  statistics.
